So I tested positive for COVID

[Dooligan]

Just FYI, my 100 year old grandfather got it. He survived.

He did pass 9 months after the fact, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is recorded as a Covid death, though.

Ever had a cold before?

That's how you deal with it.

Why did you test? Had you not know, would you have treated it any differently?

Well.... it is NOT a cold. It is an entirely different virus. Why WOULDN'T you get medicine that is specifically designed to treat that particular virus? The medicine you need OP is Paxlovid. It is an anti-viral and very effective. Like an antibiotic, you will feel MUCH better within a few days of taking it.

AND.... it may save your sense of smell and/or taste which can be damaged temporarily or even permanently (unlike a cold).

Took me three years to finally catch this chit.

Took a five day course of Paxlovid. Like others the main drawback was everything tasted like hot metal garbage from the Paxlovid.

Felt a lot better a couple days after starting the antiviral.

Or you can listen to all the Calguns doctors and just rub dirt on it.

If you aren't older or in a higher risk group that advice might work for you.

For those of you who have dealt with this, what meds should I ask my doctor for? What can I take on my own?

What can I do to ensure I get rid of this bug as quickly as possible?!

Your participation trophy is in the mail.

I tested positive this AM. Had overwhelming chills & 102 fever last night. Now just runny nose, slight fever, headache, cough and fatigue. No big deal. Taking Quercetin, Zinc and Vit D, which are all over-the-counter.

Had COVID twice now, and have just taken the regular OTC stuff that everyone's mentioned.
It sucked and thought I was going to die to two times I've had it. The headache and fever are the worst next to losing taste.

OP, don’t believe this guy. Wuhan virus was originally “novel corona virus.” It means new corona virus. If there is “new,” does that mean there is “old?” Yes there is. We have known about corona virus for a long time now. I think something like 4 families of corona virus cause the common cold (don’t quote me on that). Regardless, some of the common cold is caused by corona virus. This “new” corona virus is part of the family. As with other viruses, the natural progression is to lose lethality while increasing in transmissibility. After a while, it will co-exist with humans and we treat it as another cold.

I would not get Paxlovid for no good reason. Testing positive for wuhan virus is not a good reason. First of all, are you sure the test is accurate? Anything man-made is subject to failure. I don’t trust these tests. There were reports on how these at-home tests couldn’t differentiate between the wuhan virus or the common cold. Hmmm….both are part of the corona virus family, coincidence?

I don’t know what Paxlovid does. I normally avoid drugs if I can help it. Drugs are bad, mmmmk?

People still talking about Covid? it's the flu bro.

This! It?s not a dangerous thing. I?ve had flus that were a hell of a lot worse than Covid. But, of course, I knew people would continue to freak out over Covid. Get over it all. Really.

[Fern]

People out here still playing "Cov!d"? Take some Theraflu or Z-packs.

People still talking about Covid? it's the flu bro.

No, it's not. I have had the flu with horrible fever and the runs with puking and body aches for a week. That's awful.

I had covid as well, sucked for a night or two, never puked, didn't get the squirts, fever broke around 36 hours. The flu is much worse.

Feeling much better today! Followed some of the advice here.

Dibs on your guns. I?ll even buy a house in AZ to make it easier.

Glad to help. I would recommend a booster at least once every 3 months and if you start having symptoms again wear 4 masks instead of the usual 3. It's also vital that you dont forget to mask up while driving or when riding your moped.


This guy is a fine example of a responsible citizen following CDC & NIH guidelines.

This is hilarious because there is no test for Covid. So you?re believing their propaganda it?s called the flu bro

How in earth can you come here and say you tested positive when we all provided you with proof that our government is full of **** with this Covid stuff and they don?t even have a test to determine Covid from the flu. Again they don?t even have a test to determine Covid so when you stated you tested positive for Covid unfortunately sir you lied and you believe the hype you even bother to acquire one of their fake tests to further believe the hype and we got to stop this. This is how we got to the situation is because you believe their lies

[Big Chudungus]

Quick question, how in earth can you test positive for COVID-19 when they don?t even have a test that can determine if it?s the flu or Covid?

God gave you an immune system so stop falling for what TV says Cove it has nothing to worry about at all. The only thing you need to worry about is taking up poisonous substance that they called a vaccine

This. Noble Prize winner and inventor of PCR test declared Fauci a fraud and challenged him to debate. He also said PCR was unable to test for Covid or determine if anyone has active Flu.

Unless someone has come out with a new test that has been examined by skeptics I'd have to say your doctor is a fraud.

But check Alex Jones infowars for some doctor who will ship you a cocktail of Covid drugs to have on hand. IIRC it Ivermectin and a bunch of other stuff but it all no risk stuff anyone can take anytime.
